Visualization of sinusoidal and varicose instabilities of streaks in a boundary layer
Nonlinear instabilities of boundary layer streaks are investigated experimentally. Extensive measurements visualizing the sinusoidal and varicose instabilities of streaky structures at nonlinear stage of the breakdown process in boundary layer are presented. The flow behaviour in the course of spatial evolution of the streaky structures with a secondary high-frequency disturbance generated on t...
متن کاملAlgebraic growth in a Blasius boundary layer: Nonlinear optimal disturbances
The three-dimensional, algebraically growing instability of a Blasius boundary layer is studied in the nonlinear regime, employing a nonparallel model based on boundary layer scalings. Adjoint-based optimization is used to determine the “optimal” steady leading-edge excitation that provides the maximum energy growth for a given initial energy. Like in the linear case, the largest transient grow...
متن کاملOptimal harmonic response in a confined Bödewadt boundary layer flow.
The Bödewadt boundary layer flow on the stationary bottom end wall of a finite rotating cylinder is very sensitive to perturbations and noise. Axisymmetric radial waves propagating inward have been observed experimentally and numerically before the appearance of spiral three-dimensional instabilities. In this study, the sensitivity and response of the finite Bödewadt flow to a harmonic modulati...
متن کاملInstability of Blasius boundary layer in the presence of steady streaks
It is well known that the instability of boundary layers is sensitive to the mean velocity profile, so that a small distortion to the basic flow may have a detrimental effect on its stability. The main interest of the present paper is in investigating the mechanisms by which a relatively weak distortion can significantly affect the instability of an otherwiseuniform Blasius flow. Specifically, ...
متن کاملInfluence of an unfavourable pressure gradient on the breakdown of boundary layer streaks
Breakdown of boundary layer streaks is studied experimentally and compared at zero and adverse (positive) streamwise pressure gradients on a wing under fully controlled experimental conditions. The varicose mode of streak breakdown is found to be a dominant mode in the case of the adverse pressure gradient. A strong influence of pressure gradient upon the development of the streak and the secon...
